Man! I Feel Like A Woman Chords: Learn the progressions
The most awkward part of playing Man! I Feel Like A Woman! is that you must fit a capo on fret 1, which is never a nice experience.
I guarantee you that on the original recording, they tuned the guitars up a semitone but I can’t see you bringing a guitar tuned a semitone up to the gig just to play this one tune!
Perhaps you can convince the band to play it in A instead of Bb! If you can’t, get that capo out…
The verse chords are super simple harmonically, you play chords I – IV – I, repeat it, and then play the riff, like this:
| A5 (I) | A5 | A5 | D5 (IV) | A5 | A5 |
| A5 | D5 A5 | A6 riff | A5 N.C |
The bridge cleverly moves to a G which is chord bVIIx (also known as the backdoor dominant), then back to A (chord I), like this:
| G5 (bVIIx) | G5 | A5 (I) | A5 |
The chorus goes to E, which feels like chord V, C#m is III, A is I. Repeat this and end with F#m, chord VI, like this:
| E (V) | E | E | E | E | C#m (III) | A (I) |
| E | E | E | E | E | C#m | A | F#m (VI) |
What’s so clever here is that all this could have been in the key of E, so I – VI – IV, then II (F#m) at the end. Great songwriting often bridges two keys like this to create tension.
I’ve designed some TAB for the intro, verse, bridge, chorus, and outro, all adjusted to work on one guitar if you have a gig this Saturday night.
Here’s a link to the TAB lesson: Man! I Feel Like A Woman! – Guitar Lesson with TAB.
Here’s a chord chart that will serve as a great reminder once you have the TAB down for how to play all this.

Man! I Feel Like A Woman! is Shania Twain’s signature song!
From Shania Twain‘s 40 million-selling album Come On Over, we find Man! I Feel Like A Woman.
This is perhaps her signature song, a quick glance at Spotify numbers reveals it’s getting close to half a billion streams now.
Produced by her then-husband (Mutt Lang who also produced AC/DC’s Back In Black album) this is the Mustang Sally of female country anthems.
If you have any female country vibes going in your band, you should put this one on the setlist, just don’t forget to bring the capo, the Digitech Drop pedal only goes down so it won’t help you with this one!
